The Political Thinking of B.R. Ambedkar : An Analytical Study.

      Аннотация: Dr. Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar (1891-1956), ‘a symbol of revolt’ (as mentioned by Jawaharlal Neheru), was one of the front- ranking nation - builders of modern India. He is popularly known as the ‘pioneer’ who initiated the ‘liberation movement’ of roughly sixty-five million untouchables of India. Yet, Dr. Ambedkar, notwithstanding all handicaps of birth, has made, by pursuit of knowledge in the humanities, social sciences, politics and law, an indelible imprint on the body politic of the country. The present study is a humble attempt to make a comprehensive and objective analysis of the various strands of the political ideas of Ambedkar while keeping in minds the gaps and lapses in the existing literature on Ambedkar. Keeping in mind the broad objectives, the chapters of the study have explored the various aspects and issues pertaining to Ambedkar’s political thinking.This research based book, therefore, besides reflecting the theoretical issues that are implicated in the writings of Ambedkar, also attempts to capture the position of Ambedkar on the social, political and economic issues whose relevance is actually felt even today.
